Types of aces bets

- Who will make the first ace;
- Aces handicap.
The largest number of betting options for elimination serve can be found in the decisive matches of major tournaments of the Grand Slam series, the Olympics, etc.
How many aces are made in a match?
Players of a low level (amateurs, juniors, 1000+ rackets of the world, girls of short stature and level) can jointly not submit a single ace for a match, top tennis players men can score 20-30 aces for two.
Women have much fewer aces, tk. physical strength and endurance are not comparable to that of men. Top men are “served” on average 15-25 aces per game, for women the numbers are much more modest – 8-13 aces on average for the strongest serving representatives of the WTA. However, sometimes women have matches where men can envy the number of aces.
What tournaments can I bet on aces on?
Basically, this kind of markets are present at the tournaments of the highest level. You can definitely bet on aces at Grand Slam tournaments, final tournaments, Masters, Davis Cup matches and other similar starts.
How to bet on aces?
Before putting on a serve right through, you need to study the issue and find out how often, on average, tennis players perform aces from the selected match. You can do this on sites dedicated to tennis statistics or general sports statistics portals.
Information about aces can be seen by opening the match report, where the main statistical parameters are presented: match score, pass percentages of the first and second serve, winners, unforced errors, aces and much more.
In the men's and women's rounds, there are tennis players who have a unique serve in strength and accuracy, thanks to which they often win whole games without a fight. For example, in men it is Croatian Ivo Karlovich, American John Isner, Swiss Roger Federer.

By the way, Barty is quite short, but she performs a lot of aces. This is one of the rare exceptions to the rule that tall players are the main performers of elimination pitches. These players are highly likely to win games on their serve (with the exception of meetings with top players), perform several dozen aces per game.
To bet on aces, you need to see the player in action. To do this, it is advisable to find a live broadcast of the meeting and assess how ready the player is to drive innings right through the opponent's half court. It is also important to pay attention to the host. Some tennis players play excellently on the reception, even better than on their own serve. In such matches, you should not bet on aces.
The serve is a very difficult element in the game, which is far from always possible. Even the top pitchers have bad days and games where the serve fails and aces are few. In such games, there is a bust of double faults, a small percentage of the first serve. In such a situation, betting on aces is not justified, because submission fails. Another thing is when the balls from the input into the game fly out like from a sling, and the tennis player confidently takes games on his serve.
What to look for when betting on aces?
Once again, we summarize all of the above and list the most important points that you need to pay attention to before betting on aces:
- The current form of tennis players, serving and receiving;
- Head-to-head meetings with the opponent, how effective are the serve and aces against the opponent;
- Coating type. On different surfaces, the bounce of the ball is different, this also affects aces. For example, on the ground, the rebound is slower. Accordingly, filing right through is more difficult, but easier to accept. On grass and hard, the situation is the opposite: it is easier to serve, more difficult to accept;
- The emotional state of the pitcher. A tennis player who can hardly restrain his emotions, makes a lot of doubles, badly serves the first ball, is unlikely to hit a lot of aces;
- The percentage of the first and second balls served, the number of doubles in the match, recently, for the season. The higher these indicators, the higher the probability of aces, the lower – the less it;
- The game of the opponent of the player, on whose aces we are going to place bets. If this opponent is very good at the reception, then it is risky to bet on the serve right through.
Conclusion
It is best to bet on aces in live, when you can watch the athletes play live and feel what mood they are in and in what shape. The game can develop in such a way that the receiver will be on fire and the server out of shape. In this case, one can only dream of a dozen aces per match, even performed by top filing masters. We recommend betting on aces in matches of proven master serve with stable “guns”. But it is best to put on their supply only after the visual conviction that the “mortars” are in order and are ready to hammer shells into the ground in mass quantities.
